Stage Right Stage Wash 15 Watt x 12 LED PAR Stage Light (RGBWA)

At home on medium to large stages, the addition of Amber and UV diodes give these new PAR cans a deeper, richer color hue on par (pun intended) with traditional halogen and tungsten elements. The low power requirement means that you can safely use 2-3 times as many fixtures on one breaker than with incandescent bulbs. Enjoy smooth fades and color changes with the 1.3kHz, flicker-free, dimming. Suitable for schools, houses of worship, event production, and rental houses, the all metal housing make these units robust and roadworthy. Easily useable as a plug and play stand-alone light with user defined colors and memory at power off or as a master/slave running color jump, gradient, or pulse. Fully DMX512 capable.

As with the 612830 Is there an update to the manual? The DMX programming of the unit and the manual aren't consistent for DMX control of light function. Trying to program it with an Obey 40 and finding it impossible due to the inconsistencies. The manual indicates 9 ch DMX with channels 1 thru 4 as control where as in real life the unit is running R,G,B,W,Y for channels 1 thru 5 and no strobe or sound effects are coming up at all even on 6 thru 9.

Reviews

I'm the technical director for a community theater. This spring I was tasked with upgrading our lighting system from inefficient incandescent lights to intelligent, LED lighting in an effort to reduce our energy costs. I saw these fixtures announced and held out to buy them so I could use them as stage wash. I actually went all-in on Monoprice fixtures because funding was absolutely limited. I purchased 4 of these lights and they were the single biggest purchase of the rig (it's a 50-seat blackbox so we didn't need a ton of fixtures anyway). Coupled with Monoprice Par-64s, 10w x 9 LED, an LED lightbar that was DOA, and a set of Chauvet mini-movers our artistic director was able to obtain due to a recent class-action lawsuit from Amazon, I was able to light the entire theater for around $2,200 which included a laptop to run QLC+ and a DMX King to USB adapter.

Opening these fixtures I loved them immediately. They seemed heavy and seemed well-built. The fans are a bit loud and the producer complained a bit about the noise but the audiences so far have said nothing. These lights worked fantastically at first the only real negative was the inability to shutter the lights, but not a deal-breaker by any means.

And then the LEDs started dying.

SL lost its blue. Then CSL lost its blue. CSR followed suit this week and SL and CSL have also lost their greens. I've had to adjust all my light designs and am now relying almost 100% on the white LEDs with a splash of yellow and red so it's not painful. And frankly, I'm holding my breath until those start to burn out as well. The worst part is they didn't just "go" one day. Half of the blue LEDs (on the SR side of the fixture) would blink on and off until they stopped working all together. The other half followed suit within a few days. All but one happened during performances and they were quite distracting to the actors and the audience.

I know I should try to RMA these fixtures but I'm still relying on these four fixtures as a stage wash and we can't take them down to send them back and be without lights. That's the downside to being a small non-profit we don't have any spares so my hands are tied until the season ends in October.

I knew I was taking a gamble on 1st generation fixtures but I didn't expect a failure rate of 75%. Aside from these and the LED light bar, the other (cheaper) Monoprice lights I ordered (Par-64, and 10w x 9 LED) have held up and performed flawlessly. I guess a higher price doesn't always mean higher quality. I don't mean this review to be a detraction against Monoprice, I'm hoping they can use this information to work with the manufacturer to resolve this in future generations of the product. If it wasn't for the current reliability I would order more of these in a heartbeat.

PROS: Value Super-bright Great color mixing with the addition of W and Y to the standard RGB Energy savings / run cool to the touch

CONS: Blue and Green LEDs began shorting and/or burning out after only two weeks 75% failure rate on fixtures. Fans are quite loud Built-in programming not accessible via DMX for some reason

We replaced our sanctuary house lighting with 13 of these lights. They worked great for the first couple months. They do run louder then desired, we can deal with it though as our ceiling is high. Over the past 30 days eleven of the thirteen lights have malfunctioned. We can no longer achieve the lighting that is desired for our sanctuary at our church.

This was a big purchase and project. Its embarrassing and infuriating to have the lights fail after just 6 months.

The led's are continuing to dye out. Some of the lights have multiple led settings failures. Out of the 11 lights that have been and need to be returned, 5 have lost amber, 3 have lost green, 2 have half the blue showing up. When I run the white RGB 7 of the figures have failures... Half white/half purple / half white / half amber.

I did send two back already and the company was helpful and sent two replacement lights. They were the next generation 18 watt lights. They work well so far. They are much louder then the previous version.

I'm awaiting resolution for the remaining 9 lights that have failed. Customer service has been helpful.

These lights are great, a nice low cost option over ADJ or others however when programming DMX, the manual needs a major overhaul. The DMX channels don't line up with the lights software so what you expect vs what you get don't line up. Overall they are great for simple RGBAW but anything beyond that I've yet to find.
